Ah, thanks. When you talk about "snapshots" I assume you mean =20
snapshots of an EBS volume [1], rather than the image itself? You =20
should be able to do that using the services provided by the =20
ElasticBlockStoreAsyncClient [2], from where you can also attach the =20
volume to a specific instance.

The EC2TemplateOptions [3] also allow you to map EBS snapshots to =20
devices, amongst others. A usage sample would look like [4]

template.getOptions().as(EC2TemplateOptions.class).mapEBSSnapshotToDeviceNam=
e(deviceName, snapshotId, sizeInGib, =20
deleteOnTermination)

Hope this helps!
